Brettski,

Have you done any maintenance on the wood duck boxes? Just asking since they should be cleaned out ever year and have fresh bedding added. I good job to due in the winter. I have wood duck boxes on our property in Northern Wisconsin for the last 25 years. I have woodies in most boxes ever year. My dad was at the property the first weekend in Feb. and cleaned out all eight of them.

I have a lot of wood ducks around my farm in Illinois and put in some wood duck boxes last fall on the new pond. I have mixed emotions now since most likely I have to drain the pond to fix a leak. I kind of hope the woodies don't use the boxes this year but doubt it since I see many pairs on my propert looking for nesting place from now though turkey season.
